Data General Common LISP also has redirectable output.
execute lisp/I=infile/O=outfile/E=errorfile
The presence of any of these switches causes the default bindings of
the standard streams to change. *terminal-io* is still attached to
the console if one is available. If one is not available (such as when
you are running in batch mode), we have a slightly crazy set of rules
that "do the right thing".
